Lee Volker transfered from Duke this season.

Lee Volker entered the transfer portal in early April amidst the departure of former women’s basketball head coach Megan Duffy.

Volker then withdrew her name from the portal two weeks after the university hired Cara Consuegra to replace Duffy, a source confirmed with the Marquette Wire. The Next’s Talia Goodman first reported the news.

Last season, the Purcellville, Virginia native came off the bench and averaged 3.5 points in 14.9 minutes per game last season.

She had a career-high 13 points in the season-opening 84-51 victory over UT Martin and had 12 bench points two weeks later in a 96-36 win against St. Peter’s.

Editor’s note: This story was originally published when Volker entered the transfer portal. It has been updated to reflect the latest developments.
